Little is known about the origins of these strange artifacts. They appear as normal writing instruments, apart from the fact that they are entirely black. Even the wood they are turned from is black to the core.

These are actually one of the Stretch Goals that has unlocked from my Gamer's Notebook Kickstarter campaign.

At £1,800 I will set my Dark Elves the task of producing hundreds of these magic pencils. Each will be marked to avoid getting them mixed up with lesser writing devices. The pencils will be finished in matt black paint and have black lead, a black eraser and a black metal ferrule. I considered printing on them in black as well, but that is a bit too Spinal Tap. Therefore, Pencil +1 will be printed on them in red or orange.

Backers pledging for 2 or 3 pads will get 1 pencil added to their reward free of charge.

Backers pledging for 5+ pads or a Bag/Box of Tricks will get 2 pencils added to their reward free of charge.

The
sheets in the notebooks will be litho-printed in grey on both sides.
One side will have a 6mm grid, and the other side will have lines for
notes. This will make them an ideal tool for writing game notes and
ideas wherever you may be. The notebooks would also make perfect
campaign diaries, in which players can collate maps and other
essential notes as a game progresses.

The front covers of the notebooks will be left blank allowing you to write your name, campaign title, etc. The back cover will have a Squarehex.co.uk logo printed on it at the bottom.

These
notebooks would make great Christmas gifts for your gaming friends,
and if you opt for a pack of 10, they work out at just £2 each
including UK delivery.

To get these prices simply enter the code SavageSeptember (the box for entering the code appears after you sign into Paypal, it applies the discount and then sends you back to the site to confirm the order).

This Saturday Squarehex will have a stand at Dragondaze in Newport. If you mention this offer I'll honour the discount at the show. The mini Savage Worlds Character Sheet Cards are always popular at shows, but they can be difficult to spot on the stand. To help highlight them I've made a super-sized A3 version.
